What is Sync2Sheets?

Sync2Sheets is a Google workspace add-on that syncs Notion databases with Google sheets.

This is from their landing page - “Give Notion the superpowers of Google Sheets”

What problem does it solve?

It solves a painful B2B problem.

Notion is a great tool for project management and team collaboration.

But it’s a poor tool for managing databases.

Google sheets is a great tool for managing databases. But it’s a poor tool for collaboration and project management.

Sync2Sheets is the perfect micro-SaaS for integrating these 2 products.

As is clear from these testimonials -

An obvious painkiller product for teams that rely on both Notion and Google sheets for their work.
